lyrics

for bathing my baby head to toe
in a bucket of glass.
for making me take it, as you know, in my past.
perfect i know i am not,
but my freedom is now worth a shot.

horses are free, and horses are gold,
but when when the horse is a man, his face is a hole.

and i’ll have you suffer like the man
you knew nothing about,
and find my redemption hanging there
on that tree of life.
no need to disrupt the decay
with parts of his corpse in the cane!

horses are free, and horses are gold,
but when when the horse is a man, his face is a hole.

remind, remind this clouded mind
why baby and i would not leave you behind.
this sound rebounds all through these hills,
that icy white scream of this beast that i’ve killed.
i once was told to forgive’s divine,
but my god has died seven times seventy times.
besides i know it’s nature’s law,
for our lives are red both in tooth and in claw.

horses are free, and horses are gold,
but when when the horse is a man, his face is a hole.

no need to disrupt the decay
with parts of his corpse in the cane.
